Kim and Nathan's Wedding

Friday, April 24th all 3 of us traveled to St George for Justin's cousin's wedding. Her wedding was held in Zion National Park on Saturday. We left right after Jaybird and I got home from work. Justin had taken the day off of work to finish getting the house ready, cleaning the car, and doing all that find stuff that one needs to do before a trip! After we had settled into the hotel and Jaybird got to meet her new relatives, we got to take Justin's family to Pizza Pie Cafe!

After we finished eating we headed back to the hotel so she could swim. She got her suit on and was in the pool for 2 minutes and it started thundering and lightening. So we very grudgingly got out of the pool and waiting for the storm to pass. Don't worry, she got to swim later than night! That's the wonderful thing about Southern Utah, is storms pass quickly.

 

I think we finally pulled her out of the pool at 9:45 and she crashed at 10. At least one of us crashed... Me not so much. I don't do well in strange beds. I fell asleep but then ended up waking up for 3 hours in the middle of the night. Ugh! Thank goodness for caffeine! In the morning we all met in the lobby for breakfast, the kids swam some more in the morning, and Justin and I make a quick trip to one of the 4 K-marts left in the US. 

Look they come with Cafe's.. And I wanted a pretzel!

I just had to prove they still existed. 

 

Around 12 we grabbed sandwiches at Jimmy Johns and headed towards Zion. Justin and I may have missed the turn off for the parking lot and headed up Carmel Highway. It was a pretty mistake :)

The wedding started at 2 and the rain held off for their wedding! It literally started raining as they were walking away from the stage of the amphitheater.

Apparently we only got pictures of Kim giving the ring to Nathan.

Pouring different color sands into a shadow box. The original dirt is from where they met and then added in their two colors representing them coming together. Super Cute!

And we got a "going in for a kiss" picture too!

Yay!

After the wedding we headed back to Gary and Diane's house and helped set up the reception and enjoyed our time with our family! On Sunday we headed back to Cedar to get ready for Monday! It was a great weekend and so nice to get away for a little bit. We are so proud and excited for Kim and Nathan and cannot wait to see where they life will take them!
